Chapter 663 Whirlpool?
Jiang Lianzhu magnified the place that Liao Jiu pointed to!
It's a pile of bones!
Huge fish bones, and...human bones.
Jiang Lianzhu took a breath. How many people did this water monster eat?
So brutal.
Seeing these human bones, Liao Jiu and Jiang Lianzhu couldn't help but clench their fists and became angry.
"This thing must be eliminated! It's too harmful!"
Liao Jiu pointed at the electronic screen again and said, "Wife, look at this."
Jiang Lianzhu zoomed in again and saw many tokens. These tokens were the unique identity cards worn by public officials, yamen runners, and soldiers of Da'an State.
"We've also found the people who came to fight the water monster and didn't return. They were all eaten by the monster! It's absolutely abominable!"
The detector continued to move under the water, and soon found some ship wreckage, including large ships and small ships, all of which were stuck in the cracks of the rocks at the bottom of the water, one on top of the other, or entangled with water plants, preventing them from floating up.
Suddenly, a large area of aquatic plants swept towards the detector, and the screen went black!
"Emergency alert! The underwater detector is entangled in an obstacle. Alert! The underwater detector is damaged!"
Jiang Lianzhu doesn't believe in evil.
Haha, if we destroy one of hers, she will release a few more. She released all four or five underwater detectors in the arsenal at once, and all of them were used up for today.
If four or five underwater detectors were used together to conduct the investigation, the results would be better and more comprehensive.
The entire deep pool of more than ten acres in the center of the lake was checked. Of the four or five underwater detectors, only one was left working, as it was dried up by the dense aquatic plants. Apart from finding evidence left by the water monster, nothing else was found.
I don’t know if the aquatic plants were too dense and accidentally entangled the detector, or if something else affected it and damaged the detector.
"It should not be here anymore. Maybe it discovered we are coming and hid somewhere, or it may have escaped into the Grand Canal along a tributary. We have to chase it quickly." Jiang Lianzhu guessed.
Liao Jiu pondered for a moment. "We came here on a golden eagle. We arrived so suddenly that it wouldn't have reacted quickly enough to escape to the Grand Canal. Nine out of ten times, it's hiding somewhere we overlooked. Wife, let's split up and ride on the golden eagles to search every part of Da Ting Lake carefully..."
Jiang Lianzhu thought it made sense.
They came riding on golden eagles, appearing suddenly in the morning light. It was impossible for the water monster to escape so quickly.
Lake Dating is hundreds of miles away from the Grand Canal, so it is impossible to escape so quickly.
If they entered the Grand Canal, it would be very difficult to find and track them. The Grand Canal is too long and its tributaries are wide-ranging, almost covering half of the Da'an Kingdom. That would make things difficult.
"Okay, I'll go look around first. You go to the local government office and have someone temporarily cut off the waters connecting Da Ting Lake to the Grand Canal tributary. We can't let it escape from Da Ting Lake."
Liao Jiu nodded, "Okay, my wife is thoughtful."
That's exactly what he thought.
Wherever there is flooding, dams are built in many places so that the water level can be seen and ships can pass through to intercept the flow. He wants to find the local government office in charge of water areas to temporarily close the dam between Dating Lake and the Grand Canal so that the water monster cannot escape through the water flow.
It was locked up in Dating Lake. No matter where it was hiding, there would always be a time to pull it out.
The couple acted separately and had a tacit understanding.
Jiang Lianzhu didn't need to explain too much to him, as Liao Jiu had much more experience in dealing with officials than she did.
She went to look for traces along the lake.
The scenery on the lake is picturesque. As the sun rises high in the sky, groups of fearless fishermen are fishing by the lake. The small boats dare not go too far away from the lake.
Jiang Lianzhu flew lower and greeted them at low altitude.
"Hello, fellow villagers!"
The fishermen on the fishing boat were a little scared and felt strange.
What I was afraid of was such a ferocious bird of prey, with a wingspan of several meters and a sharp beak, which could dig out a person's heart with one bite.
The strange thing is that there is a beautiful little girl sitting on the bird of prey.
And take the initiative to talk to them.
"Okay! Little girl, who are you? And how come you can ride a golden eagle?"
Jiang Lianzhu introduced her identity and talked about the whole story of coming to Dating Lake.
Now the fishermen had great respect for Jiang Lianzhu.
"We, the common people, have met Princess Fu'an! I heard that she is a female healer, has a flying golden eagle, is also a master of martial arts, and has special instincts. Seeing her today, I find that her reputation is well-deserved." The knowledgeable old fisherman still knows how to speak.
Others followed suit.
They have been dealing with Dating Lake all their lives, have never left Dating Lake, and have never met any dignitaries. This is the first time they have seen such a high-ranking official.
They were all very excited to help them get rid of the water monster.
Some people even knelt on the deck of their own boats and saluted Jiang Lianzhu.
Jiang Lianzhu asked them all to stand up. "My fellow villagers, no need to be so polite. I just came to find out where the water monster has been appearing recently. I just went to the center of the lake and couldn't find any trace of it."
Speaking of the water monster, everyone had a topic to talk about. "Princess Fu'an, that water monster is very ferocious. It eats people, animals, and boats. Several groups of people came, but none of them could subdue it. You are a delicate little girl, even if you can ride a golden eagle, you have to be careful. Golden eagles fly in the sky, not swim in the water. If you are pulled into the water, you will be eaten by it..."
"Usually, the water monster is in the center of the lake. That's where our fishing companions all disappeared. After that, we didn't dare go to the center of the lake anymore. We fished on the outskirts of the lake, and we were attacked a few times..."
"We don't know what the water monster looks like. We've never seen it, and everyone who has seen it is probably dead. But we heard that when the water monster is about to appear, a whirlpool will definitely appear around it. The water monster never comes out of the water, and it kills people and swallows ships with the whirlpool..."
…
Jiang Lianzhu interrupted, "Whirlpool?"
"Yes! There's a vortex, a big vortex, every time it appears..."
"We'll run away the moment we see an eddy! We can't even keep our fishing nets!"
"Also, the fish in Lake Da Ting are probably almost all eaten by the water monster. We can't catch any fish every day. At first, there were fewer whitebait, after all, whitebait is the most delicious. Later, other miscellaneous fish also became scarce. The water monster doesn't seem to like crabs and shrimp. For now, we just go down to the lake to catch some worthless crabs and shrimp to make ends meet..."
…
Jiang Lianzhu inexplicably thought of the big water snake she had encountered before, which also had a certain degree of intelligence.
Then it disappeared.
Could it have migrated here?
If it is a water snake, it is good at digging holes. If it digs a deep hole at the bottom of the water and hides there, it will be really hard to find them.
Jiang Lianzhu said goodbye to the fishermen and continued flying to the lake to search.
